Chapter 861: Chapter 859 Liking Can’t Be Compared with Love

Shen Yu felt as if she had been struck by lightning, rendered completely immobile.

Panicked, she looked toward Mu Fei, her eyes pleading for an answer: what should they do?

Su Yingxue still had this kind of ability, did they want them to die!

A sly smile curled on Mu Fei’s lips, his expression unreadable.

Shen Yu was on the verge of desperation, wishing she could grab his collar and demand: Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve!

If not, wasn’t she as good as dead?

After all, she couldn’t escape from the Great Wei Imperial Palace by herself!

But Mu Fei actually said, “Since the Ninth Princess Consort has such confidence, perhaps it’s worthwhile to have a thorough examination.”

“What?” Shen Yu’s face turned deathly pale, her arms trembling uncontrollably behind her back.

She had misplaced her trust in Mu Fei, this madman was going to get her killed!

“Bring the tools for Yingxue.”

Qin Rulie seemed to believe Su Yingxue as well, so he ordered preparations for her.

Su Yingxue went to the inner hall and from Medicine King Valley, she took a silver needle and glass slide, planning to try the blood verification method she had used on Su Yurou last time.

As long as it was proved that Shen Yu had no blood relation with the Empress Dowager, that would be enough.

But as she was preparing the items, a beautiful woman appeared in the hall.

Dressed in opulent and dignified attire, she walked in and sat down next to the Empress Dowager. Qin Rulie and Qin Muyan also treated her with great respect.

When Qin Muyan saw her, he quickly introduced her, “Yingxue, this is my mother, the Eldest Princess. My mother passed away early, and she raised me.”

“Oh.”

Su Yingxue nodded, “So it’s the Eldest Princess.”

She was her Aunt!

“I’ve heard that the Scarlet Flame King is very filial, and always takes care of things personally. You should return to the Eldest Princess’ side; the Princess will be protected by Your Highness.”

Chu Yihan wrapped an arm around Su Yingxue’s waist, gently lifted the stray hairs from her cheek, and tucked them behind her ear, showing tender affection.

This scene truly stung Qin Muyan’s eyes.

His face turned a hue of dark green as he returned to Qin Ge’s side.

Qin Ge, having heard of the events occurring within the palace, had rushed over. The question of Su Yingxue and Shen Yu’s identities was of paramount importance, but she noticed that Qin Muyan held extraordinary care for Su Yingxue.

He even didn’t hesitate to face embarrassment in front of Chu Yihan for her sake.

At the moment, Qin Muyan’s expression was extremely unhappy.

All because of Su Yingxue.

Qin Ge, grabbing Qin Muyan’s hand, inquired with a sniff, “Muyan, are you very familiar with that Su Yingxue?”

“She has saved my life on numerous occasions, she is a very good woman.”

To Qin Muyan, no amount of flowery language could capture Su Yingxue, so he simply used the word good.

Qin Ge naturally picked up on his underlying meaning regardless of Su Yingxue’s identity. The fact that she had become Chu Yihan’s wife and yet continued to capture Qin Muyan’s heart couldn’t sit well with her.

That alone prevented her from taking a liking to Su Yingxue.

She selectively ignored Su Yingxue’s greeting to her.

Leaning against Chu Yihan, Su Yingxue quietly said, “It seems my Aunt doesn’t like me very much.”

“Do you lack her affection?” Chu Yihan’s voice was cool.

Su Yingxue tilted her head, “I guess not! Having hubby’s affection is enough for me.”

“For you, I have love.”

Love that penetrates deep into the marrow.

Affection does not even merit comparison with deep love.

A blush crept silently up Su Yingxue’s earlobes. Originally thinking she could tease Chu Yihan, who knew this normally cold and abstinent man’s casual remark would make her heart race and face flush.
